Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
The investigation of the returned coil system found the proximal gold connector bent and damaged, and the implant stretched and separated from the pusher.No indication using a detachment controller was found on the pusher's heater coil.The investigation found the pusher's monofilament with a tensile break shape at the tip which is consistent with the device experiencing excessive force that exceeded the strength of the monofilament causing the implant to separate from the pusher.The physical evaluation of the device could not identify the conditions or circumstances that led to the damage, but the damage is consistent with the device experiencing forces over specification.The unit passed continuity and resistance testing, indicating the device would have detached normally during the procedure; however, the detachment controller used in the procedure was not evaluated as a part of this evaluation, so the investigation could not determine if it had caused or contributed to the initial non-detachment described in the reported complaint.
